I read about the early days of TKD - a whole bunch of egos colliding! The General had the power to match his ego....all there is to it!
Actually they don't do nicely if you understand the ultimate goal of Taekwondo, they are misleading and send students (and instructors) off in a different direction, missing the ultimate goal of Taekwondo ~ in a big way ~.

But I understand why you use them.
